Wins and laughter for WOYWW

I've had a wonderful week.

Today I went to my dear friend

Tracey Fletcher Kings house

for coffee and lots of laughter.

I'm feeling totally inspired,

especially after being in her super neat and tidy studio

but I'm sorry Trace, that doesn't mean I'm tidying mine up.

Tracey is a very special lady and she has taught me so much.

I wouldn't be half the painter I am without her help

and she showed me loads more things today and gave me some things to play with.

I can't wait to try them out.

I didn't get much done in the way of art this week,

I had planned to do more of my fish painting

but never quite got there.

I did finish the bunny portrait but that is a gift
for someone, so I will keep it under wraps
until I know that it has been received.

I made up some cards and that's all that's on my desk this week.

Another thing that happened was I had a win!!!

Yes little ole me won a competition.

You may have heard of a magazine called Featuring,

it's on art journaling and mixed media and

I thoroughly recommend it.  

I bought the first edition of the mag and entered an online survey 

and I won a free copy of the next  Featuring mag.

They are having a free giveaway in this issue and the winner gets 

to have an inchy published on the back cover.

If you're interested it's here.

The last wonderful thing to happen to me 

was three, yes three orders for Pet Portraits.

I put a little sign in the Collective Store and I have three orders.

I'm so thrilled. 

The fish painting might have to wait

just a little longer.

Well,  you've seen what really kinda isn't on my desk this week

so why not hop on over to Julia's

Stamping Ground and see

what everyone else has been doing 

on this What's On you Workdesk Wednesday.
